Law Office of Joseph L. Felber operates in the Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering technology area, having managed 353 career applications. The firm has established a resolved allowance rate of 85.27 percent, which reflects the proportion of its applications that reach a grant. This record of 353 career applications serves as the basis for the firm's experience in the mechanical and medical device sectors.
The firm's prosecution process involves an average of 3.01 office actions per allowance. This metric indicates the typical number of interactions between the firm and patent examiners before an application reaches an allowance. Currently, the firm has 11 pending office actions, which represent its active workload within its Medical Devices & Mechanical Engineering practice. These 11 pending office actions are fewer than the 353 career applications on record.
The 353 career applications and 85.27 percent allowance rate establish the firm's historical performance. The 3.01 office actions per allowance provide a benchmark for the expected duration of the prosecution process. The 11 pending office actions show the firm's ongoing activity in securing patent rights for its clients.
Based on the USPTO statutory response window for each pending office action. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date; the rest are excluded from the tile counts.
Every pending office action with a known statutory deadline, placed on a days-until-due axis. Dots left of Today are overdue; the further right, the more runway. Cases that share a deadline window stack vertically. 5 of the docket's apps have a known mailing date.
Difficulty is derived from the rejection statutes on the most recent pending office action. §101-driven and multi-statute cases are graded Hard; §112-only and obviousness-type double-patenting cases are graded Easy; everything else is Medium. "Unknown" means we have not yet parsed a statute for that office action.
| Bucket | Cases |
|---|---|
| §101 + other | 1 (6%) |
| §103 only | 3 (19%) |
| §102 only | 1 (6%) |
| §112 only | 1 (6%) |
| Multi-statute (no §101) | 10 (62%) |
